Hello,
I have a 2019 Ford Edge SEL 2.0 Ecoboost. It has 71,410 miles. Awhile ago the CEL came on and we got a code of P0300. It went off and I stupidly thought all was fine. Well, in early March it started acting up. So, we decided to change the spark plugs because they’d never been changed. So, we changed them and then the car stopped running. The mechanic that came out said to try changing the ignition coils. So, we did and all seemed great again until in early April the CEL came on again and this time we got a P2196 code. The CEL went off the next day, however, the car feels like it could stall out every time I get fuel, it smells strong of gasoline near the tailpipe, and it is very jerky sometimes when pushing the gas pedal. We’ve decided to try changing the fuel injectors. I tried hiring a mechanic, but he said that the fuel injectors on this car can only be changed by the dealership. Is this true? At this point we are considering doing it ourselves. The only issue is that we can’t find any pictures, videos, or diagrams about how to get to the injectors. I have purchased 4 new motorcraft injectors, a fuel filter, intake manifold gaskets, and a seal/o-ring kit for 4 injectors already because the mechanic we tried to hire was going to do the labor with our provided parts. Can anyone give advice and/or info on how to get to them to change them, if it’s true only a dealership can do it, and if we are on the right track with changing those. Should we replace or change anything else? We are driving from Florida to Illinois and then Illinois back to Florida in late May and I am trying to make sure the vehicle is in tip top shape prior to the trip. I also work with my car every day driving lots so trying to prevent another case of it not starting.
